Homie, welcome to the site. Coinstar is a rip-off. Bring your coins into a bank near your area regardless if you have an account, it usually doesn't matter with small dumps (dumps<$1,000 for me). Some tellas want you to bring them rolled, others do not care. Simply walk into a bank, show them your coins and ask them for a refund in paper. They should have no problem giving it to you. While your in there I heard if you ask the five magic words you can get free silver. It was on the radio hmm what was it...oh yea "Exchange for pre sixty-five" let us all know how that works out. We're all too shy to try.

Do a google search of banks and credit unions in your area and call them.
Ask them if they have a coin counter in the lobby.
If they do then as what is the min deposit for a no fee savings account.
I live in metro detroit. The banks/credit unions where I dump, would require a minor to have a $25 saving account, to use their coin counter for free.

If you are only doing one box you could reroll them. It takes a while at first but with practice you can dump the whole roll into your hand carefully so the dimes are in a stack on its side, edge check for silver, and then slide them into a new wrapper.

Thanks mercury ill most likely do both because the counter might have a 3%charge

You can usually find a free coin machine if you look close enough, but rolling is probably best.

Since you're 14, you should probably favor a bank closer to you, and if they want them wrapped, then you're wrapping coins.

Same banks/credit unions charge others don't. I have one credit union that even if you are member charges you, and yet there is a bank that I have an account with that doesn't charge and says I can bring as much as I want without problem. My only problem is carrying them all in. I have returned a thousand dollar with no problem. If its smaller amounts, I would just reroll them. And don't dump and pick up at same bank. Monday I am going to a small branch bank or credit union in my hometown and see if I can open a account, whether its an checking or savings.

Sincerely, GarouLady
